cramerhunts Report post Posted March 30, 2015 Beautiful mount of a sweet buck! Not sure if I've ever seen better work done on velvet antlers then yours. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Becker Report post Posted March 30, 2015 Thx for the compliments guys. The biggest factor on velvet is "HANDS OFF". Don't touch it. As hard as it is be super gentle and try not to handle it. Everytime you touch/grab it you mash down the velvet hair and there is no way to get it to stand back up. Just FYI if you want nice velvet antlers on your mount don't touch 😜 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgraffaz Report post Posted May 19, 2015 Wow I had no idea that you weren't supposed to touch that is good to know....I have ready that if you shoot a velvet buck you should inject farmaldih into the antlers and "paint it on the outside so I bought some and acquired some seringes and needls...should I inject farmaldih if I shoot a velvet buck or not?
